Technical assistance and resources are provided for complying with state and federal laws and regulations in special education. Services are available for:
State Performance Plan (SPP)
Local Education Agency (LEA) Determinations
Significant Diproportionality

ESC-20 also provides training and technical assistance with federal funding requirements and eGrant submissions/amendments.
Staffing considerations for students with disabilities can vary based on
individualized need. The current Texas Rule leaves the determination
for caseload for these services to the local education agency (LEA).
